This striking Louis Feraud late 1980s evening gown with embroidered silk overlay is of exceptional quality and construction. The classic silhouette is deeply feminine, with a petite corseted bodice to accentuate the waist and a simple horizontal neckline with delicate ribbon straps. The full ball-gown style skirt is enhanced with an underlay of thick slate blue silk satin with thick velvet hem, followed by a further layer of stiff netting and a sateen slip beneath. The exquisite embroidered silk overlay adorns the dress in its entirety is a warm charcoal tone with a baroque style pattern in soft slate blue. The black velvet 4" waistband consolidates the piece beautifully and is echoed by the matching band at the hem. There is a concealed zip fastening to the left of the waist and hip. In superb condition this piece is notably petit at the bust and to fit a taller figure. Would best suit US size 0 - 2 , UK size 6.
